Always tough these one's.

I see an EH Co. or HE Co. (Company)

General location of recovery may add additional clues.
Very nice button! Maybe late 19th, early 20th century?

Nice looking button. I'm sorry that I can't help with the ID, but I'll bet that someone will be along shortly that can. Best of luck.

The E is laid on top of the H, so I would start with E.H.Co. first.
Try the city directories in the area where it was found.
Good luck... Cool button

Yes, it is either eh Co. or he Co. I kind of figured it was going to be a tougher I.D. I am usually pretty good at researching buttons but, this one:icon_scratch: Late 19th or early 20th is exactly where I would put it too:icon_thumleft: Thanks for the replies:hello:

Pensacola, Fla. is where it was found and I kind of wondered if it could have been a monogram for something in this area. If it is a local organization of some type, it would be a first for me. If the E comes first, then I suppose it could represent Escambia which is the county I am in.
